I’m Natalia - Travel Fairy!?
I love crafting trips that blend discovery, comfort, and a little bit of magic.
My initial introduction to the world of travel was becoming a flight attendant after my graduation many moons ago! This gave me first-hand knowledge of flights, airlines and fuelled my own love of travel alongside other travellers.
I’ve visited more than 30 countries, lived in Russia, Thailand, and India, and travelled widely across Europe and Asia. Each experience has helped me become familiar with both budget and luxury styles of travel (and everything in between!).
As a mum of two, I’m also an expert in travelling with children from toddlers to teens, and I know how to make those trips smooth and enjoyable to all!
With so many years in customer service and the travel industry, I understand and I’m attentive to my clients’ needs and preferences, creating journeys that match their personality and style of travel — from solo travellers and couples to families and all kinds of groups.
I see every journey as a beautiful puzzle. With care and attention, I bring all the pieces together to create your seamless and unforgettable experience.
So, whether you are planning a family holiday, peaceful escapes, or a once-in-a-lifetime journey, I’d love to help.
Let’s have some fun & bring your travel dreams to life together!
